Congenital Glaucoma Related Retinal Detachment

Abstract

Congenital glaucoma is a rare inherited condition in which the increased intraocular pressure is detected shortly after birth. The retinal detachment related to this condition is rare but it can lead to a poor visual outcome if left untreated. The awareness of this condition by the treating physicians leads to the early detection and treatment. Therefore, the patients can maintain their useful visions afterwards. This chapter will discuss in details of congenital glaucoma related retinal detachment and the applications for ophthalmologists.
